Warning: Spoilers
The most interesting shot for me was of the Bedford Theatre in Camden Town. I used to pass this,now closed,theatre on the 68 bus on my way home.

The plot such as it is,opens on a revue in the theatre. The closing notice is posted. One of the performers receives a telegram telling her that her uncle had died and that she had inherited his old country pile. She invites all the cast down to stay.

They meet the creepy housekeeper and butler.

They decide to open an inn. So we get alengthy period of lackluster acts.

Finally the plot kicks in again and it turns out that the housekeeper and butler had locked up the uncle and tried to get hold of the house Their ruse is thwarted and it ends with the Inn working again.

The film features a comedian who is so unfunny it is painful.

The BFI print lasts 74. Minutes not 68 minutes.
